I guess since it happens so rarely these days it’s cause for a celebration, but every time I empty my bowels he begins rolling and kicking like crazy. Must be all the extra room… Ahhh…it’s great to feel him move – regardless of the occasion. It seems like I waited forever. In hindsight, I think […]

You can justify eating Coolwhip straight from the tub. You notice you are going through an alarming amount of toilet paper. It appears a snail has taken up permanent residence in your underwear (ha! stole that one from my very funny pregnant friend). You can convince your husband to drive to Coldstone at 9 p.m. […]

Ugh. I don’t know why I forgot so quickly how much I despised registering for our wedding. Or maybe it’s not so much that I forgot, but more that I thought it would be a lot more fun/less stressful registering for baby stuff. I mean, clearly picking out baking dishes and thread count is far […]

Everything surrounding weight gain and pregnancy. I hate the actual weight gain. I hate hearing about other people’s weight gain. I hate telling them mine. I hate the scale at the doctor’s office. I hate that I hate gaining weight when I know that it’s necessary to GROW a healthy child. I hate that I […]

It all started a few weeks ago when I couldn’t get any amount of decent sleep because of the constant lower back and sciatic nerve pain. I had been sleeping on my side with a king size pillow between my legs for a couple months, and I always thought that would be enough support. Turns […]

I can officially say that I can feel the baby! For weeks I’ve thought I’ve felt something down there other than gas and digestion, but never felt confident that it was the baby. Then last week I was reading all about the disgusting joys of birth while in bed and I suddenly felt what I […]

I just finished up my Thanksgiving menu and shopping list (yes, I’ve decided this is the year to learn how to cook a bird – not when I have some screaming baby hanging around) and I passed it off to my husband for him to look at. I had planned on making cornbread stuffing with […]

I’m well into the second trimester now. I have quite a cute baby bump to show for it. Nothing huge yet, but I’m definitely looking more pregnant than fat and can finally fill out those maternity shirts I’ve been hanging onto. The upside to this new stage is I physically feel pretty good. The food […]

No, it’s not snowing. It’s not even freezing yet, but it’s the first cold snap of the season, which just so happens to coincide with my first run in with flaming nipples. Yes…I’m going to spend another post discussing my breasts. You have been warned. So here’s what happens every time I go outside now. […]
